Keaton’s range is just unparalleled. He alternates between being grateful, angry, sarcastic, desperate, demented, friendly, scary and so much more. Major talent

[jpfoland]

I like how his "qualifications" is half just Micheal Keaton reciting his classical training in his own voice.

[ManDudeMcHumanGuy]

The funniest part of the whole scene is when he is asked about his qualifications and just starts talking in his normal voice. I really for some reason was not expecting that.

[nickvanderpool]

Beetlegeuse's "WHAT?!" at 4:07 slays me, as though he genuinely doesn't understand what they could possibly have a problem with.

[adrianghandtchi]

2:43 I mean, it’s the really small details like the little whistle sound when he throws his hat off that really make it a fantastic experience.

[ludo]

Beetlejuice is one of the most iconic characters ever created in film

[LAVATORR]

I love how Beetlejuice is treated like a preexisting character we're already familiar with.

[captainmarvelous]

Fun Fact: Betelgeuse has only 17 minutes of screen time and he is still iconic!

[jimmy_the_squid]

Fun fact: most of Michael Keaton's dialogue was improvised and Tim Burton once said that he riffed so much that they actually wanted to give him a lot more screen time but they had a tight schedule to keep

[Heller]

What a wild concept of a movie, yet it just freaking works…no backstory on who or what beetlejuice is, dark humor and yet it all comes together as such a great film

[TheCman]

4:56 The run he does as he says, "The place is a mess. Don't pay any attention to it. I'LL FIX YOU SOMETHING TO EAT!" Always kills me. Lol

[neonhomer]

At 3:22 when Beetlejuice goes into his "qualifications" I like how he goes from the "deep" voice to the "normal" voice for Michael Keaton for a minute...

[henrikechers]

Michael Keaton, should have had an Oscar Nomination for this. He is iconic

[dannydinosaur]

Idk why, but the "Whut???" at 4:07 and his fed-up look is the funniest part of the scene for me. 😂

[TruthinWWE]

I have to agree.. The Exorcist does get funnier the more you rewatch it

[whiteguy]

“Don’t you hate it when that happens” no doubt the funniest part of this sequence

[serenitythesiren]

The fact Keaton ad-libbed almost all of his lines makes this even more hilarious.

[Syrastro]

Michael Keaton is a master of his craft. This was a genius role. There is no beetle juice without him.

[ActualLiteralKyle]

It makes me completely overjoyed to see that so many people- millions- remembered how hilarious this entire sequence is, looked it up, and are here now.

AND IT KEEPS GETTING FUNNIER, EVERY TIME I SEE IT!!!!

[leegibson]

This man literally made my childhood along with Jim Carrey. Keaton was beetlejuice and batman. Seriously no wonder he's so beloved and rightfully so. I'm glad he's back he's literally the GOAT
